Christie Chestnut has created an account on Change.org, which is a website that gathers petitions from around the world.

Chestnut wants the officer to be treated as she says a citizen would be.

"They seem to somehow make up excuses for him, maybe because he's an officer, but I do believe that if it was an average citizen, like us, then we would have been in jail already. I just want equal justice," Chestnut added.

Chestnut created the page Thursday afternoon and so far, nearly 150 people have already signed.

She says there have been comments left by people from all over, including Canada and Australia, agreeing with her call for harsher punishment.
